Unfortunately when i think about it I do think ascended astarion is hypothetically fascinating but everyone including the actual game has made the idea very very corny and obnoxious.

i just love how javier immediately went 🫵😀 ARTHUR LET'S GO FISHING TOGETHER and when arthur said he can't fish, he just snatch him up and said he teach him how to do a few tricks. i love them so much omfg.

i think it's funny how arthur act all cool when he met the farmers with "whatchu doin boys?" in literal candace flynn voice, only for his ass to get greeted by a fucking lion because he thought it was a puppy.

fresh off from a lion attack and STILL look cute.

in my neighborhood there's an empty plot of land walled off by a fence. philadelphia has a ton of these, they're a staple of certain, usually black neighborhoods but this one always makes my stomach tighten when i pass it. after it rains, a puddle of muddy water collects in a place where kids once played and old people met with their friends. graffiti lines the foundations of what once were homes, inadequate homes but still homes, generational homes, communal homes. two years ago those homes were there. the last holdouts hung graduation signs for their teens and defiantly fanned themselves on hard plastic lawn chairs despite the fence already partially being built and the demolition crew standing idly by. a group of activists built an encampment there to protest the demolition of the homes, local politicians supported the activists and the residents, and yet there would be no victory against the encroaching developers whose plans for affordable housing now feel like an empty promise for a lot that already seemed like an afterthought

when i think of those townhomes i can't help but think of palestinians. children playing in the rubble of their schools, no doubt projecting memories they'd made in those places as they play. i think a lot about teenagers in gaza. not young enough to be seen as total innocents by the west but too old and too experienced with destruction to childishly reject cynicism. there are kids in my city who live like that, but without bombs falling on them. they carry the weight of their families, their bodies a frenzy of anhedonia, resentment, and restlessness. in black philly and in gaza, our enemy is shared. white apathy and supremacy, overlooking our humanity as they seize whatever physical possessions we have whether that is our homes or our bodies.

nader @abdalsalam2000 is a teenager. like all teenagers living under coordinated destruction of their lives, he has had to take it upon himself to fundraise for his family. i've watched his campaign be taken down multiple times. i've seen him through family hunger, illness, displacement, and the destruction of their home. i wish for him what i wish for the kids who live near me: opportunity, hope, and a long life rich with all that makes life worth living. but first, he needs to eat. please give if you can.

"Journeys end in lovers meeting; I have spent an all but sleepless night, I have told lies and made a fool of myself, and the very air tastes like wine. I have been frightened half out of my foolish wits, but I have somehow earned this joy; I have been waiting for it for so long." [The Haunting Of Hill House- Shirley Jackson]

i was so excited when i see molly's name in yellow, because for some reason i thought i achieved a rare molly mission that no rdr2 players ever get—was vibing sooo hard when molly and arthur start talking, then my smile dropped when uncle push her away and HIJACKED EVERYTHING.
